Took the truck out for the last night of the season at New England Dragway. It ran AWESOME!!!

I ran 2 11.43's at over 118 MPH!!! This TVS 1900 is just flat out gettin it done.

My first race was against a Dakota 5.9 RT he had bored .030 over with a 4" stroke (408ci) and a 150 shot.



and the personal best with a locked converter. I locked it at 105 MPH. Not a whole heck of a lot of gain there. You can see it was slower through the 1/8 and even the 1000 foot mark, so it definitely had its benefit. I just am not sure its worth it on a street driven truck.




and not that it means anything... but I get a kick out of this.



With a few VERY small tweaks I would have had 11.3's but I just ran out of time. I should have tightened the limit straps more etc... but it is what it is. I spun slightly off the line even with the drag radials.

 

Got that pig rolling out!

 

Thanks for the info on the locked converter.

 

Truck is running great man!

 

VERY impressive for a big *** crew cab. That 60' is hauling considering you're still spinning. I'd love to see you manage to get this thing into the 10s

 

You ain't the only one. I'd do some things better left unsaid to run a 10 lol.

It's a very small amount of spin... But it is there. I'm not sure it has that much of a negative effect on me. Maybe I could sneak a couple hundredths out of the 60' still? I don't know. Not something I feel like I could count on, but running it enough times anything is possible.

I took my rear seats out, but not the passenger seat. That thing has to be kind of heavy in my truck. I just am not sure what point striping the interior I will start to feel that it's not as fun. I think I just need more power.

I could swap to a cam that's 'better' but I don't know... Is that really worth it? I feel like at this point if I'm making changes they may be big ones. Like I'm not sure the money spent for a cam with this current package is money well spent. I LOVE the Maggie... And I can't see myself going any other route, and the 2300 does seem that much more capable. We'll see.

I guess it leads me to a few questions. Is it a 1900 running 10's or just a Maggie crew cab running 10's that is impressive? Will a 10.99 really feel that much faster than my 11.43? Is it worth what it could potentially cost to get there?? I just don't know.

 

Great run! Wish you luck getting into the 10's

 

Damn that is moving. I bet that is a fun truck to surprise people with on the xway.

 

Thats awesome man. Good work.

 

Awesome man!

What does your converter flash to when you launch? Does it seem pretty loose during normal driving do to your power and weight?
